Software Engineering Process

Software Engineering Process is an engineering process that is mainly


related to computers and programming and developing different kinds of
applications through the use of information technology.

Conventional Engineering Process:


Conventional Engineering Process is an engineering process that is highly
based on empirical knowledge and is about building cars, machines, and
hardware. It is a process that mainly involves science, mathematics, etc.

Similarities:
Both Software Engineering and Conventional Engineering Processes
become automated after some time.
 Both these processes are making our day-to-day place better.
 Both these processes have a fixed working time.
 Both processes must consist of deeper knowledge.

Differences:
